Over the years the Cashimira brand has become highly respected both locally and in more recent times internationally

Special care is taken with all aspects of manufacture, including selection and optimal long term storage and seasoning of tone woods and timbers, humidity and temperature controlled storage and workshop areas and a combination of traditional and modern construction techniques.

Jose Antonios’ quote sums it up:- "It is not just the assembly of pieces of wood, it goes beyond that, it is an art that achieves a special sound. It gives soul to the instrument, that in the right hands will produce extraordinary sounds and musical possibilities".

Materials used include Indian and Brazilian Rosewood, Ebony, Walnut, Bubinga, Cocobolo, Mahogany, Cypress and for the soundboards:- Canadian Cedar and German Spruce. These woods are seasoned slowly and naturally, until sufficiently dry to be used.

The Cashimira workshop makes around 2000 guitars per year, 300 of which are the Luthier models.

Cashimira guitars are played by some of the world's top musicians, including:-

Aldo La Grutta, Venezuela

Guy Guyvers, Belgium

Edin Solis, Costa Rica

Pablo Ortiz, Costa Rica

David Parra, Spain
